Keeping the seat warm

Is Eleanor Burnham considering defecting to Labour so as to assume the leadership of their party? I only ask because of a throwaway line in yesterday's First Minister's questions in which she indicated that Gordon Brown had been keeping the seat warm for her:

Eleanor Burnham: I had the privilege and the pleasure of being one of the first to ride on the Virgin biofuel train from Euston to Llandudno last week; I believe that I was sitting in Gordon Brown’s seat, after he vacated it in Crewe. It was a pleasure and a privilege. [Laughter.]

Whether, it really is a 'pleasure and a privilege' to occupy the same seat as the Prime Minister-elect is a matter for debate but I suppose it beats being photographed outside the door of No. 10 Downing Street.
